What Is globalization? Is it the integration of economic, political, and cultural systems across the globe? Or is it the dominance of developed countries in decision-making, at the expense of poorer, less powerful nations? Is globalization a force for economic growth, prosperity, and democratic freedom? Or is it a force for environmental devastation, exploitation of the developing world, and suppression of human rights? Does globalization only benefit the rich or can the poor take advantage of it to improve their well-being?
Globalization101.org is dedicated to providing students with information and interdisciplinary learning opportunities on this complex phenomenon. Our goal is to challenge you to think about many of the controversies surrounding globalization and to promote an understanding of the trade-offs and dilemmas facing policy-makers.
We invite you to start learning by clicking on the button on the left to read our definition of the term "globalization." Then explore our Issue Briefs, News Analyses, Ask the Experts interviews, Blogs, and Useful Links by clicking on the buttons at the top of this page. Educators can find resources to teach about globalization by clicking on the For Teachers button at the top of the page.
Please visit one or more of our 15 Issue Briefs: Trade, Technology, Investment, Health, Culture, Environment, Migration, IMF and World Bank, Development, Women and Globalization, International Law and Organizations, Energy, Human Rights, Global Education, and Global Media.
